The Magellanic Stream and the Interacting Galaxies

Abstract

Abstract The Magellanic Stream is reproduced numerically by taking account of the gravitational interaction of three galaxies, the Galaxy, and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). The masses are taken as 2.75 × 1011 M⊙ for the 2 × 1010 M⊙ for the LMC, and 2 × 109 M⊙ for the SMC. The best reproduction of the Stream is obtained as a narrow band of the particles pulled out from the LMC, whose orbital plane is perpendicular to our galactic plane and whose motion is clockwise as seen from the sun with the perigalacticon at 20 kpc. Our galactic sheet of test particles is not warped enough by the tidal force of the two Clouds to explain the observed bending of the galactic disk.
